I thought the Nintendo E3 lineup was decent, it wasn't great, and it wasn't terrible. Wii U ending and making Codename NX with a lineup like that? It was DECENT. I loved Triforce Heroes and Hyrule Warriors 3DS, Miyamoto spoke about his childhood and inspiration to make Star Fox Zero? it was great! Not a fan of Animal Crossing but AC fans loved the new game and it sold well, and more. The whole thing was decent, but because of mainly 2 games, made it bad
We all know what truly happened at that E3 and I take my hat off and bow my head for the Metroid fans. I never played a Metroid game before but I was interested in one and I KNEW its one of the greatest franchise's ever. I didn't get a Metroid game until that Wii Metroid collection. I played like an hour until I gave up because the motion controls threw me off, so I didn't bother with it again. To this day I STILL want a brand new Metriod game with normal controls.
The hate for Metroid Prime Federation Force did damage to Nintendo. Remember the Petition that got 25K signatures? Federation Force did look interesting, but I didn't buy it because I wanted to show Nintendo this won't do it, look how poorly it sold. 80K sales. There was news last year saying Nintendo DID add "Metroid" to the title to boost sales, but that backfired. The trailer got a 90% dislike ratio on Youtube, and this caused other games's trailers to get disliked.
We don't see any "Metroid Prime 4 currently in development and to be relased 4Q of 2017/8". Usually when a big game is being created we hear rumors about it, but still nothing for Metroid. It's like they pretend their worse E3 never happened. As a Nintendo fan, I won't ever forget Metroid Prime 4... never ever. I just wonder why? Metroid Prime games sold better than Xenoblade games, but they're still supporting Xenoblade. Super Smash Bros has much more work to make than Metroid. Like why are they forgetting Metroid? It's a shame.
"We haven't made a Zelda game in 6 years but don't worry! We are releasing The Legend of Zelda: Pot Smashers on your 3DS!"
